TV without SCART, you say? Yes, there are a few on the market now and they're only going to get more commonplace. Hideously bad design, both electronically and physically, which deserves to die.

Well, at least there is a reason why I'm unfamiliar with SCART and have never seen a connector like Mark pictured: we don't have that connection here in the U.S. From what I just read, SCART is a European connection standard and it's never really been used here.
I just swung by Walmart and I have to admit that even the cheapo HDTVs in there had better pictures than I have now. So I guess... Darn it!"Every generation's memory is exactly as long as its own experience." --John Kenneth Galbraith

You could take a look at these HDMI to AV converters - HDMI A/V Cables | Overstock.com: Buy A/V Accessories Online
Although never having used one, I doubt it works because you'd still need some sort of a converter. Most Blu-Ray players were designed keeping modern TVs in mind, so not much backwards compatibility. Besides, because of the size of a Blu-Ray movie, you get best results from an HDMI cable, because nothing else is fast enough or broad enough. Your 12 year old TV is designed to work with the older DVD players. To watch and more importantly enjoy Blu-Ray movies, you at least need a 1080p capable HDTV.
You could also take a look at this. Hope it works:

If you buy a new one, be sure you get a LCD with a minimum of 120hz or better yet 240hz. Watching sports and racing on a 60hz unit won't be nearly as good. If you go with a plasma unit it won't matter, as that doesn't apply to them..

i think Michael said that while trying to get an indycar sponsorship, the guy saw a picture of the electric FE car in the Andretti's office and got stoked saying stuff like "oh, does such thing even...
